Dear Solovine,

Included herewith are the lectures. I shall make the minor changes in the book and correct the mistakes in spelling. I am glad that you are ready to take a trip to see your mother again at last. Here our daily lives have been nerve-racking since the shameful assassination of Rathenau. I am always on the alert; I have stopped my lectures and am officially absent, though I am actually here all the time. Anti-Semitism is strong. The endless chicanery of the Entente will fall upon the Jews again. There are complaints about numberless acts of chicanery against industry, the destruction of factories, under the pretext of military expediency.

Cordial greetings and much happiness
Your         

A. Einstein

Painlevé is interesting, but it would be hard to defend what he has to say about relativity.
